BEAUTY PRODUCTS

At the Gaia Institute, we have chosen to work for all your treatments with natural beauty products based on plants and essential oils without resorting to artificial substances because each product that we apply to our skin penetrates the smallest portion of our cells…

These beauty products are designed to protect, repair and preserve the ecology of your skin they will allow you to prolong their benefits at home. We have chosen these brands for their quality, ethics and commitment.

None of our products contain ingredients derived from animals and have not been tested on animals. Instead of synthetic products, plant extracts are used and the packaging is biodegradable and recyclable.

OUR BRANDS

L:A BRUKET

Natural and organic skincare made on the west coast of Sweden, formulated with the philosophy that we don´t need chemicals to innovate skincare.

Wind, mud, salt, rock, ice, sand, water and sun in a tangle of continuous change: Swedish nature isn’t something you visit, it comes to you whenever you step outside. Under these harsh coastal conditions our skin and hair get weathered, however rather than hide from nature, we turn to it for inspiration and answers.

From 2008 we have been developing natural formulas to protect and nurture skin and hair, with the understanding that if our products are effective despite the unforgiving conditions, they’ll be of a quality more than capable to meet the demands of any situation and any place.

Our visionary product development work is backed with a well-established knowledge of natural skincare. We are uncompromising when it comes to the purity of our formulas, because to protect and restore your skin, you must nurture it with only the natural molecules it can absorb and utilize to perform better.

HYDREA LONDON

Sea Sponges
the benefits of using sea sponges

Sea sponges are the most natural and caring ways to cleanse, massage and gently exfoliate your skin and are superior to any synthetic alternative. When wet they can be compared to the feel of silk yet they can clean like no other washcloth can. Sea Sponges are hypoallergenic and suitable for even the most sensitive of skins. They are very long lasting as they are more resistant to abrasion and they will not peel like synthetic sponges while being used. Sea Sponges are better for bathing and cleansing because they soak up and hold more water without dripping. Natural sponges naturally inhibit the growth of bacteria and wash out more quickly and easily and will not retain odours.
